MCAT Test Dates 2016

MCAT test dates for 2016, as well as score release dates, were released by the AAMC last Fall. We have also compiled information from the AAMC regarding MCAT registration and testing centers in the United States, Canada and international locations. Ideally, you would choose an available MCAT test date at a convenient location that allows you the most study time while balancing the score release date which will give you time to submit your MCAT score relatively early in the application cycle.

MCAT Test Dates and Score Release Dates

Note: MCAT score release takes 30-35 days after your exam date.

MCAT Registration Fee

The MCAT registration fee is $305 if made at least three weeks before the exam. There are 3 registration 'zones' that have corresponding registration fees, re-scheduling fees, cancellation refund and fee assistance program (FAP) fees. The FAP was designed for students who are unable to finance their MCAT prep. You need to apply for the FAP before your MCAT registration. For more information, click here: FAP

Note: The additional international registration fee for all zones is $95. The international registration fee is applicable to all countries except for Canada, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The deadline for registration is at 11:59 p.m. ET of the day of the deadline. It is non-refundable upon registration cancellation. See MCAT Registration Deadlines.

MCAT Testing Centers

There are MCAT testing centers, both on and off campus, from coast to coast in the US and Canada. Additionally, there are numerous MCAT testing centers in international locations as presented in the table below. Note that to register for a seat at an international testing site, you should follow the same process as if registering for a seat in the US or Canada. Since the dates and seats at international locations are limited, plan ahead to avoid disappointment. If you need to travel and stay in a hotel, check out the AAMC’s Hotel Discount Program.
